All the King’s Buckets. 2003-2020
As LeBron gets set to surpass Kobe for 3rd place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, take a minute to appreciate his incredible career.
Here are his 12,254 career made field goals
The 73-win warriors of 2015-16 had the top offense in the NBA.
They would rank *21st* in offensive efficiency this season, below the Raptors, who are 19-36.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is the 2nd player in NBA history with three 40-point, 10-rebound games in a single NBA Finals, joining Shaquille O'Neal in 2000.

Portland just got a shooter.
Out of 64 NBA players that have tried at least 200 3s this season, Norman Powell currently ranks 3rd in 3P%.
He's made 43.9% of 269 attempts from beyond the arc this year.
Only Joe Ingles and Joe Harris have been more accurate this season.
Anthony Davis is the least efficient jump shooter in the NBA over the last 2+ seasons.
Among 178 players that have attempted at least 500 jump shots since the beginning of the 2020-21 season, Davis has logged the lowest eFG% on those shots at 35.99 - no other player is below 40
Anthony Davis made 1 of his 12 jumpers last night as Lakers lost to Kings.
Out of 56 players who have attempted at least 150 jumpers this season, he ranks last in efficiency, averaging just 0.71 points per shot.
5 Haliburton Notes

With Dennis Schröder, the Lakers could get another solid playmaker who has become an effective catch-and-shoot threat as well.
He made 41% of 273 catch-and-shoot 3s in 2019-20.

Duncan Robinson just logged arguably the best catch-and-shoot season in league history.
He made 46.2% of 513 catch-and-shoot 3s
I ranked him as the best shooter of 2019-20.
The rest are mapped here:
Russell Westbrook has made 3 of 17 jump shots this season.
Also, he is the only player that has attempted a jump shot with under 30 seconds to go and 15+ seconds left on the shot clock with their team up by 1 possession in the last 4 seasons.

2016-17 Warriors* +182
2000-01 Lakers* +170
>>2018-19 Bucks +168
